The first month of construction has been busy and productive, with several key milestones completed despite the snowy and frozen conditions. The hall foundations are now finished, and important infrastructure work, including drainage and water main diversions, has been successfully completed. The site hoarding has been adjusted, and the reduced dig for the hall’s block and beam floor has been carried out. Welfare facilities for the team are also up and running.

Looking ahead to next month, work will focus on the teaching block, with foundations being laid and floor beams prepared. Steel installation will begin, and surplus soil will be removed to keep the site clear. New drainage installation will also commence. Exciting progress is being made, and we’re thrilled to continue building this amazing space!

It was an exciting day on site at Westonbirt Prep School as pupils and staff gathered to celebrate the official start of the 12-month build project. Two pupils—one of the eldest and one of the youngest—lending a hand to break the ground and kick off the project.

Representatives from RJ Leighfield Contracting and Quattro Design Architects, along with members of the Wishford Schools Group, Headmistresses Rebecca Mitchell of Westonbirt Prep School and Natasha Dangerfield of Westonbirt School all posed for a photo to mark this significant milestone.

The site team will spend the next couple of weeks excavating the ground in readiness for the concrete foundations.
